Session 4: Cross cultural bioethics
Organizers: Kristina Orfali, Columbia University, USA, [email protected]
and Raymond DeVries, University of Michigan, USA, [email protected]
Medical research and clinical care pose complex ethical issues for citizens in both the industrialized and the developing world.  Varied economic, political, social, cultural and historical contexts shape the definitions and proposed solutions to these ethical problems.  The broad theme of this session is the history, evolution, and social functions of bioethics work around the globe and across cultures.
